Wifi apps

[justhereforone]

Ok, I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times.
I've finished the tutorial for converting my Nintendo Wifi USB Connector into a SoftAP, and it was successful, I even connected to the NWC, but I cannot connect any homebrew apps to the web for some reason. Is there something extra that is needed for this? I'm using the M3 Perfect MiniSD adapter, I've tried connecting using the latest NDSMail and Beup. Could this be due to the WEP key that the tutorial had me enter?

I'm pretty sure you need a flashed DS to play homebrew wifi apps. However you don't to play online ROMS.

I figured it out, turns out that having WEP enabled prevents the homebrew apps from being able to connect. DS doesn't have to be flashed or anything. Apps can now connect, just wish I could figure out why beup won't finish doing the handshake, why NDSMail can't connect to my mail host, and why DSLiveweather can't connect to the DSLW server. This is seriously getting confusing lol

Yeah, the whole wifi thing can get confusing, especially when you don't use it at all (I've never played DS over Wi-fi, hoping for a USB adapter to do so).

Can't get any wifi app to connect to the net now, this si just strange.

Well, I'd try more things so you know if it's the program or your DS/connection.

ok, I think I figured it out

1) my wifi adapter keeps overheating
2) I forgot to save my wifi settings in a real wifi game after disabling the WEP encryption.

I can now connect to DSLiveWeather just fine :)

NDSMail works fine too, though it's bugged and doesn't allow you to send mail, only receive.

Glad you could get things working, it's NDSMail that doesn't allow that, not your connection (I'm pretty sure).
